Surely there is no need to "wash" anything if you paste as Unformatted text?

A perfect task for tables in a text (Writer) document, not a 
spreadsheet. Time taken to learn the basics of tables in a text 
document: three minutes? Oh, and even easier: if you copy the range 
of cells you currently have in a spreadsheet and paste that into a 
text document, choosing possibly HTML or "Formatted text" in 
the  Paste Special dialogue, a table will be created for you.

Note that text tables are worth knowing about: they are frequently 
useful for formatting material in a text document that doesn't 
immediately appear to be tabular.

I trust this helps.
